Family photos

Now that we're a family of four, our friend Julia Robbs came over to take a few photos. She shot us at our apartment, just hanging out, as usual.Amazing to think these two will be brothers and friends all their lives.Alex and Toby have been spending so much time together these days, and I'm so grateful to watch their relationship grow even sweeter and deeper.Lucky Toby has also gotten 8 million new "big brother" presents from friends! You've never seen so many toy cars and taxis:)Remember this photo of Toby? Such a flashback!Thank you so much, Julia! What a gift to have photos capturing these dreamy, hazy, chaotic, wonderful early days. xoxo

I wondered how you felt about Alex and Toby growing so close at the moment. I only have one child, but friends have told me how their oldest child and husband grew closer whilst they occupied themselves with the new baby and how that broke their hearts a little bit. I think I would feel the same. I'd love your thoughts, if that's not really nosy. Apologies if so.

mine is a family of eight. Me, a dog and six cats! I'm single and I don't think I'll ever get married, partly my choice, partly destiny's choice, so it's always refreshing to see people like you. Lucky girl, and pretty kids!

Very sweet pictures, I go crazy for baby toes! I've also found that since we've had our 2nd child who's almost 3, how important it is to foster an even stronger bond between the hubby and our oldest who's such a mama's boy and a lover. The snap of your hubby and Toby having their own time is really endearing.

I love your dress and lacy camisole. Looks comfortable/practical, yet lovely. I'm due in 3 weeks, and it makes me want to be sure not to dress like a slob in the early days (at least some of the time) :)

Congrats again Joanna! Lovely pics of you and your guys :)I was wondering how you came up with the name Anton for your littlest as you were discussing totally different names beforehand - I was sure you´ll go with Eli instead!

Look at those cheeks! Nice job Mama! I love how Anton looks at you in the 2nd photo. Your family is beautiful. Those first days when everyone is home and on the new baby's schedule (or lack of it) really are such a wonderful and equally difficult time. As hard as it is, I already miss it! Congrats.

I'm curious about this too -- I'm due with our second in September and I feel like my oldest son (almost 2.5yo) and I have been bonding so much this summer (especially since I've been more inclined to lay down as much as possible and he's kindly obliged by laying next me while we read books). This makes me anxious about what things are going to be like after our new one arrives and he'll have to not only share me with a little brother or sister, but also I'll have to see my husband have more Dad & Me time with him.

Joanna, these photos are lovely. :) I recently read an article about baby swaddling that I thought you might be interested in:http://www.bobafamily.com/research/strollers-baby-carriers-and-infant-stress/ xoxo
